when people are like “oh so you’re just gonna judge someone for their political beliefs?” yes actually. I think someone’s values and opinions is a pretty reasonable thing to judge them for.

Concept: magical girl series that initially looks like it’s going to take a grim twist, with the whole team getting brutally (but bloodlessly) massacred in their very first monster fight – but then the team leader wakes up the next morning perfectly fine and is like “dude, what the FUCK”.

Whereupon the cute animal sidekick is like: “Oh, when you ‘transform’ we transport your human body to the astral plane and replace it with a magical construct that your mind operates remotely. You were never in any real danger – didn’t you read the orientation manual?”

Our hero is obliged to admit that she did not, in fact, read the orientation manual.

After taking a moment to process, the protagonist asks the question that’s surely on every viewer’s mind: “If my powered up form is a drone, does that mean I can customise it?”

The rest of the series is basically a lighthearted combination of recurring fashion montages with increasingly outlandish customised bodies and the team abusing their conditional immortality to do stupid hold-my-beer stunts while the animal sidekick frets about the budget.

I love this but it needs at least one more gimmick to keep a whole 12 episodes going

There’s an arc where the team starts running out of energy to transform and the cute animal sidekick scolds them for being so profligate, but it eventually turns out that their budget is fine and the real reason for the shortfall is that the animal sidekick has been committing embezzlement. The reveal segues into a recurring educational segment about various types of white-collar crime.

prokopetz: *says anything* us: sigh, us: is this really about tax fraud? prokopetz: …yes

Look, in order to do a proper job of this premise, we have to refute the “it’s morally wrong for girls to want things” messaging of recent grimdark magical girl media somehow, and, well, the opportunity was kind of right there.

(I grant that doing a fake-out where it seems like the protagonists are being shamed for wanting things, then having it turn to be part of a scheme to exploit them for monetary gain is a bit on the nose, but since when have I been known for subtlety?)

Fuck it, make the sidekick using the recording feature of these missions that was solely meant to be used for training review instead selling the costume changes for profit to a fashion company. Deal with privacy, consent and fraud. Make it as subtle as a brick.

Season two opens with a previously-on segment revealing that at some point between the season one finale and the season two opener, the team took the Magical Girl Authority to Magical Girl Court over the cute animal sidekick’s repeated malfeasance, and won a huge settlement, which they then used to take their operations freelance. It turns out that there are a surprising number of societal ills that can be constructively addressed by punching the right monster. At one point they help the Evil Moon Emperor What Lives On The Moon’s henchbeings form a union.

(Oddly, the cute animal sidekick is still there; the team hired them back after the Magical Girl Authority fired them, figuring that their skill at manipulating magical financial systems would come in handy. The complete reversal of the power dynamic between the team and the cute animal sidekick is a frequent source of low comedy.)

I like how in Mario Sunshine Mario gets arrested despite having an alibi corroborated by upwards of six different people (his being on a fucking plane/out of the country for nearly every crime he was being tried for), tried but not permitted a defense lawyer or any testimony to be given in his favor, and convicted based solely on crude eye witness testimony which didn’t even match his description (the illustration is literally blue, just like the actual Shadow Mario). Then within minutes of his sentencing, the actual perpetrator strikes again in broad daylight in front of even more witnesses, and attempts to kidnap someone, only to be stopped by Mario, but Mario is nonetheless still held responsible and held to the task of carrying out his sentence?

Being 18-25 is like playing a video game where you’ve skipped the tutorial and you’re just sort of running about with no idea how anything works

Being 25-30 is like later on in the game when you’ve figured out how things work, but have made poor leveling decisions along the way and are now horribly underpowered for what you’re supposed to be doing.
